Action / Parameters

Each Player character has a {model_id}_action and a {model_id}_parameter file in system/player/data/{model_id}.

• The parameter file will list off the player's Damage caps in an array, with identifying numbers
• The action file will list off the player's actions, listing the motions associated with each one, as well as how the game should treat each action.

Action File

The Action file will list off the player's actions, listing the motions associated with each one, as well as how the game should treat each action.

Actions, when called, can have projectiles or other attacks linked to them that do not use the XML/BXM file format. these will be located in the FSMs for that character.

Name	Type	Description
id_	string	This will be the number used to refer to the action by other files or other actions in branching paths.
abilityTag_	string	Names the skill, refers to ability table. This is only used for actual abilities, not just normal actions. Example: "AB_PL0000_09" (this is Gran's 9th ability, which the ordering of abilities can be found by matching this against the Text file for the abilities, or removing all selected abilities in game, and counting from top to bottom).
saveActionType_	int	Unknown.
straddleFlagBit_	int	Bit flags. Controls how the game will handle the action. Bit 1 made the move assigned to this flag be affected by quick charge on Vaseraga.
usePoint_	int	Whether to grants honors to the player upon using the action
autoHomingType_	int	Unknown. Possibly impacts how the game handles targeting while this move is called
autoHomingOffsetDistance_	int	Unknown.
abilityStocks_	int	This will be the number of charges an ability can hold, like Lancelot's Lawinsturm
saveAbilityChargeType_	int	1 will make the ability function like an other, 2 will set it to be a 1 time use, like Seofon's 7SB or Tweyen's 2CS
abilityChargeTime_	int	Ability cooldown.
abilityChargeDelayMin_	int	Extra timer that will delay the cooldown starting, this does not impact Cascade
abilityChargeDelayMax_	int	Extra timer that will delay the cooldown starting, this does not impact Cascade
branchXAtk_	int	When X is pressed during this action, so long as the flags are set to allow X presses, then the action listed in this will begin
branchYAtk_	int	Same as above, but for Y
branchXAtk_Just_	int	When X is pressed within a specified window in the flags for the action/motions, it will go to the action listed
branchYAtk_Just_	int	Same as above but for Y
branchXAtk_Hold_	int	Allow charging actions after this one. This functions a little weirdly, as the action seems to be needed to be specified in both the hold and press entries, and requires the following action to accept the input
branchYAtk_Hold_	int	Same as before but for Y
branchAtkHit_	int	Unknown.
dist_	int	Unknown.
type_	uint	Unknown.
controlTypeHash_	uint	Unknown. List of Control Types
supportTypeHash_	uint	Unknown. Appears to be completely unused by game code.
actionName_	string	Possibly unused. Generally a name assigned to the action by the devs.
saveMotId{number}_	uint	Motions being called by this action. saved motions can be confusing at times, as certain actions will not play them in order, such as Parries
actionFreeWork{number}_	uint	Values associated with the action, such as for Zeta, when she does a Rhapsody parry, the angle of bounce and force behind the lift will be listed here
freeWork{number}_	uint	Unknown. 5 and 6 are seemingly always 1
bulletType_	uint	Refers to the FSM associated with the action, I do not know where this is set however, as to add FSM links. Flags are required in the action to call the FSM
bulletFreeWork{number}_	uint	Unknown.
supportEffectList_	uint[]	Utilizes a hash and 6 values in an array format to state the buffs that will be applied to the character or team members when this player calls this action, so long as the required flag is in any of the motions tied to the action. 1st value = How many buffs the game will attempt to give, 2nd value = Buff Id
uiIconCategory_	uint	Possibly unused.
actionCategory_	uint	Unknown. Compared against abilityBit_ in certain FSM nodes such as AIBattleRequestAbilityAction and AIBattleUseIdAction.
isTriggerAttackHit_	uint	Unknown.
damageLimitType_	uint	Should be unused after 1.3, the game migrated to the next value
damageLimitDataIndex_	uint	Specifies the damage cap in the Parameter File's Damage cap index that is associated with this action
relatedAbilityType_	uint	Associates the action with the id assigned, possibly not needed, changing it still allowed the action to function as intended
indirectDamagePoint_	uint	Additional honors, possibly given on granting buffs to other players, not fully aware of how honors works
isIndirectDamageAddMulti_	bool	Unknown. true for Vane's Bubble
isCheckComboCutAbility_	bool	Unknown.

Spawned Entities

Some players spawn weapons/entities during their attacks, those characters include:

• Eugen - Grenades
• Rosetta - Roses and normal attacks/combo finishers
• Katalina - Ares
• Seofon - Avatar
• Cagliostro - Almost all of her attacks
• Sandalphon - Gems thrown during specific attacks
• Ferry - Pets

The weapons will have motion files and BXMs specific to them.

For some characters, the weapons will handle their own hitboxes

For other characters, the weapons are mostly decoration

For Cagliostro and Rosetta, the Weapon animation assignments are located in the parameter file, where each action will be assigned a weapon animation (or multiple).
